Shell Singapore floats staff upskilling scheme

The firm will channel $10m received from the Jobs Support Scheme.

Shell Singapore will invest in upskilling its workforce with a range of coursework under its UpSkill ShellSG initiative, a statement read.

To enable the initiative, Shell will channel $10m received from the Jobs Support Scheme to fund UpSkill ShellSG, complementing its own internal resources.

It includes a range of resources internally developed by Shell and will be complemented by a SkillsFuture coursework across 12 curated themes, designed to develop skills such as adaptability and agile thinking, as well as data analytics and data mining.

The 12 themes curated for Shell employees include digital literacy, data analytics, user experience design, advanced manufacturing, tech-enabled services, digital media, adaptive skills, management and leadership, project management, entrepreneurship, languages and urban solutions.

The courses will be made available to employees from later this month.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
